PRAISE
FOR BURN DOWN THE GROUND:
"Poignant and unsettling." —Kirkus
Reviews
"A compelling testament to the strength
of the human spirit.”—Booklist
"Crews' account (the title refers to
lighting brush on fire to clear out snakes) is as well-paced and stirring as a
novel. In her fluid narrative (she's also a storyteller on the side, a gig that
helped her develop this book), Crews neither wallows in self-pity nor plays for
cheap black-comedic yuks. Instead, this book stands out for what matters most:
Crews' story, bluntly told." —Elle magazine
“Harrowing…A remarkable odyssey of
scorched earth, collateral damage, and survival." —Publishers Weekly
